Key handover in the dark: Syncthing fork community raises alarm

The repository of the popular Syncthing fork for Android disappeared from GitHub and reappeared under dubious circumstances – is this an open-source hack?

    Dammit. They are taking the last android syncthing client from us.

      The original maintainer came back recently and said that the handover has their blessing and the new maintainer is someone they know. Some people are still talking about moving to syncthing-tray, but it’s still experimental on android.

        They could have been hacked or forced.

          Sounded like nel0x was the shady one. The account on the forum doesnt exist anymore either
